Switch cards hold a maximum of 32GB, maybe that’s why? Although it seems no excuse for Switch 2, given it’s a whole new generation, why not support larger cards? I mean you can buy a 256GB microSD for $15, and that’s a private individual buying one; at scale, the memory can’t be too expensive…

And Lemmy is disproportionately representative of the 1/3 who are aware.

If you look at the comments on a random public social media post, you’ll find the delusional third or half.

It basically boils down to where they’re getting their information, or rather, whether it’s information or “information”. A large swath of the population is so propagandized by right wing rag “media” that they are functionally incapable of rational thought.

Of course, considering he’s a paranoid former KGB agent who won’t even sit at a normal table with his closest advisors, it would not exactly be trivial to drop him.

True, but realistically for most people the lack of Google Play is a non starter. Unless you’re really technical and committed to FOSS, you’re going to need every day apps in there.

IMO the biggest issue on mobile is not even the stores but the fact that both platforms are so tightly integrated with the cloud and the account signed into the OS. Again, if you’re an ordinary user, you can barely do anything without it being tied to your Google account or whatever. Everything from maps to notes to music, it’s all tied up in that.

You can still very easily use macOS without an Apple ID or iCloud account, actually. You lose out on iMessage, FaceTime and the App Store, basically. But that’s about it. And they don’t nag you about it ever again unless you try to send an iMessage or what have you.

On iOS and Android it’s effectively a requirement though, because App Store / Google Play. Phone is not too useful if you can’t install any apps.

It increases security ^of the Microsoft share price^

This is the only standard by which the Trump administration operates.

Why sell $2 light rail fares when you can sell $40 Waymo fares? Now you’re thinking with capitalism!

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing - it’s closed now?

I’m not sure that really says much. I hate swasticars as much as y’all do, but like, $400 phone versus $100K car. Makes sense the fire phone sold better. And I mean, it wasn’t being pushed by a literal Nazi so that helps.

This is completely unnecessary if you travel to a western democracy, like an EU country, Canada, Australia, etc. America is no longer part of that group though, sadly.

But think of the endless suburban car parks and Walmarts. Such culture.

She didn’t do anything wrong. A TN visa works by the Canadian professional showing up at the border with their job offer, and asking for en employment visa on arrival. Which is exactly what she did. Parts of the forms are then completed on site, by the immigration officer. Had she been refused for whatever reason, she should have simply been turned away. Not arrested.

STREWTH!

Only western Europeans? I would think eastern Europeans are even more terrified of the implications of Trump being an obvious FSB asset.

Vancouver is a huge TV filming location as well.

I love that this meme can be fully depicted using emojis. I demand emoji versions of other common memes.

I’m an American from California living in Europe. When people ask me what I miss most about it, I tell them its proximity to Mexico. The cuisine is truly unmatched in the world, god damn. For those of you who’ve never been south of the border, I’m not just talking about your typical Tex Mex stuff. The incredible moles and pozoles and huachinangos and stuff from incredibly beautiful cities like Queretaro, and Puebla, and Oaxaca… just incredible. Writing this comment has made me want to book another trip back to Mexico. To Expedia I go, San Luis Potosí here I come!

Making something illegal and actually stopping it are two different things. Also see: drugs.
